COMMENTS

PrimeQ[4691]==True Characteristic polynomial: Expand[(x + 2)*(x - (1 + Sqrt[4691]))*(x - (1 - Sqrt[4691]))] x^3-4694*x-9380 These approximations serve like 22/7 in the approximation of Pi. The cubics also have the benefit of being able to give Weierstrass elliptical functions.

FORMULA

M = {{0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {9380, 4694, 0}} w[0] = {0, 1, 1} w[n_] := w[n] = M.w[n - 1] a(n) = w[n][[1]]

MATHEMATICA

M = {{0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {9380, 4694, 0}} w[0] = {0, 1, 1} w[n_] := w[n] = M.w[n - 1] a = Flatten[Table[w[n][[1]], {n, 0, 25}]]
